School in central Pennsylvania, known for football more than anything else. Students know how to party only because there's nothing else to do within 100 miles. Students usually graduate with a degree in drinking and are virtually assured a job at Wal-Mart or Giant Eagle. Fears include panthers, cities and knowledge.

The best college in the world. It is where Pitt students would like to be deep down inside. It is the third largest city in Pennsylvania during home football games. Penn State is made up of some great people and also some ass holes, but it is still much better to converse with a Penn State ass hole than a cool student at Pitt. A football game at Penn State will have over twice as many people at it as a Pitt game, mostly because Pitt football is a joke. There have been reports of people committing suicide after attending a panther’s game because it was so boring.

one of the shittiest schools in america. a land grant university that was originally designed to be Farmer U (yeah, and aggie school). however, it now likes to hide that image and call itself an elite college. despite being a state school, it has high tuition and (for some reason) difficult standards for admission. this second fact is a total joke, because it's easy to get in if your not smart but no somebody. most attendees are excellent drinkers and parties. the school is located in the middle of nowhere in central PA (nicknamed 'the alabama of the northest')

in sports, penn state is ridiculous. in football, the pride themselves on the old glory of a pompous, grouchy coach. they used to be hugh rivals with the highly superious Pitt, but the school got scared and dropped Pitt from the schedule in '01. in basketball, they are a total joke.

'penn state sucks' are the unofficial last words to the Pitt fight song.

at penn state, they sacrifice virgins in exchange for football success.

The greatest school on the face of the fucking earth
greatest football coach to ever walk a sideline
kick ass people
and pitt sucks so does penn
great bars
if anyone was at the penn state ohio state game last year ranked as one of the loudest college games in history
huge stadium 107,282 capacity second in the nation who is beat by michigan with 107,501 capacity
with Pitt only had 56,150

Classes are somewhat of a challenge and most are at least interesting, many quite useful. The professors know their shit. Competent administration (otherwise, eveything would fall apart at a place this big). A bit pricey, but it's every bit as good as a high-end private school in most respects. Free busses.

Most of the students here are either obnoxious or annoying, so unless you're either of those, don't plan on having any friends your first semester. Most of the girls are superficial cunts, so unless you like Britney Spears clones, don't plan on having a girlfriend the first semester either. Then again, there are plenty of ugly tennis-skirt-wearing girls here... There are some decent parties but not the best (due to the obnoxious people and the horrible music); although I will say that for some reason all the food you get around here is awesome, including creamery ice cream. It may be $2.15 per cone, but dammit, it's worth it. The two bars worth mentioning are the Crowbar, where they have renowned metal shows (I'm gonna see the Haunted monday!), and the Brewery, a hole in the wall with awesome drink specials and supports local musicians trying to get a start. As far as I know, the other 25,000 bars suck ass. (Yeah, at first it's neat to be in a town with "nightlife", but then you realize it's just pathetic and annoying, especially when you're trying to get through the traffic downtown.) Mike's music has an awesome selection of good music, not mallcore stuff. Parking situation is horrendus. Prepare to walk and ride the (free) bus a lot, at least around campus anyway.

Yeah, there's football games here. Basically, it turns the entire town into a traffic jam. Yay. Incedently, I walk directly past Joe Paterno's house every day and I've seen him twice in two years. So no, he doesn't walk around campus all the time.

Interesting architecture. Check out the library, Old Main, and Sparks, which has cool gargoyles and sculptures, and the names of famous people carved right into the facáde of the building. Also there's the IST building, which is built right over a four lane highway.

If you want to come for the education, great. If you are looking for friendly people, look elsewhere, although good times can still be had with a little searching.

A girl with a nice body but a busted face. Comes from the Maryland band the Grilled Lincolns, who use Penn State as code to describe a butter faced girl without her knowing what is being discussed. Originally referenced the Penn State football team, which has a "tight uniform but an F'ed up helmet."
